Paroles et traduction Frank Delgado - Matamoros no vira pa' trás

Matamoros no vira pa' trás

Mira Matamoros yo no sé, lo que pasa aquí en esta ciudad
Pero hay un run run que hay que volver
Para nuestra región oriental.
Mira Matamoros yo no sé, si en tu tumba te revolcarás.
Mira Matamoros, yo no viro pa' Santiago
Ni aunque tenga yo de ti que renegar.

Ya Matamoros, ya Matamoros, ya Matamoros no vira pa' tras
Ni en un avión ni en primera clase,
Ya Matamoros no vira pa' tras.

Mira Matamoros yo no sé, tanta policía en la ciudad
Con chapa y tolete como ayer
Todos de la región oriental.
Mira Matamoros yo no sé, si el Oriente es tierra del edén.
Mira Matamoros, yo no viro pa' Santiago
Ni de director del Ron Matusalén.

Ya Matamoros, ya Matamoros, ya Matamoros no vira pa' tras
Ni aunque lo amarren al tren lechero,
Ya Matamoros no vira pa' tras.

Mira Matamoros yo no sé, tanto contingente en la ciudad
Construyendo hoteles por doquier
Todos de la región oriental.
Mira Matamoros trabajé y el Cohiba puede funcionar.
Mira Matamoros yo no viro pa' Santiago
Ni aunque me lo pida el mismo Marajá.

Ya Matamoros, ya Matamoros, ya Matamoros no vira pa' tras
Yo hablo cantando y me como la ese,
Pero pa' oriente no viro jamás.

Matamoros won't turn back

Look Matamoros, I don't know what's going on here in this city,
But there's a rumor that we have to go back
To our eastern region.
Look Matamoros, I don't know if you'll turn over in your grave.
Look Matamoros, I'm not going back to Santiago
Not even if I have to deny you.

Now Matamoros, now Matamoros, now Matamoros won't turn back
Not on a plane or in first class,
Now Matamoros won't turn back.

Look Matamoros, I don't know what all these police are doing in the city
With badges and billy clubs like yesterday
All from the eastern region.
Look Matamoros, I don't know if the East is the land of Eden.
Look Matamoros, I'm not going back to Santiago
Not even to be director of Ron Matusalén.

Now Matamoros, now Matamoros, now Matamoros won't turn back
Not even if they tie him to the milk train,
Now Matamoros won't turn back.

Look Matamoros, I don't know what all these troops are doing in the city
Building hotels everywhere
All from the eastern region.
Look Matamoros, I worked and the Cohiba can work.
Look Matamoros, I'm not going back to Santiago
Not even if the Maharaja himself asks me.

Now Matamoros, now Matamoros, now Matamoros won't turn back
I speak singing and I eat the "s",
But I'll never go back to the east.
